It doesn’t just ban delta 8. Most existing CBD products will be banned too. Also many states, like Texas and Louisiana, now have robust hemp regulations and companies conform to those regulations in all markets. All that progress will be wiped out.

Oh yeah unscientifically its the most fun orientation imo

Are you talking about bisexuals having a higher risk of asthma? This finding has been replicated in multiple studies.

Thank you for reading!!

Other disparities are harder to explain. For example, bisexuals face a much higher risk for asthma?

Researchers have theorized that they might inhale more illicit substances at a younger age. But that doesn’t fully explain it.

The mysteries of minority stress and the mind/body connection.

And this is also isolating, because they have to hide parts of themselves. But based on research and my own experience, this doesn't compare with the isolation that comes from declaring bisexuality as your identity.

Still, I want to believe we could all be better off if we were just honest.

One thing that will never stop confusing me is the role of desire versus identity. Being bi means I also learn a lot more about the hidden desires of my ostensibly monosexual (straight, gay or lesbian) friends. Many of them have had and/or wanted experiences that don't align with their label.

Some of these health disparities make intuitive sense. For example, bisexual people are more susceptible to depression and substance use disorders than other groups.

Being bi is isolating. These conditions often stem from isolation.

Where data is available, health outcomes in a variety of categories tend to be worse for bisexual people than for gay, lesbian or straight people. But since the tendency is to lumps us in with other categories, we rarely receive targeted interventions, so the disparities will continue.
November 18, 2025 at 11:13 PM
The report also noted that researchers often include bisexuals in lesbian and gay categories rather than looking at outcomes individually. This skews the results for everyone.

Bi/pan + people are the largest sexual minority group. Both cis and trans queer folks are more likely to be bi than anything else. Yet bi erasure is common..including in epidemiology. A report from the San Francisco Human Rights Commission refers to bisexual people as the "invisible majority."

In emails with Epstein, Summers also talked about how he believed his mentee continued to put up with him because of the professional connections he offered. Epstein commented “she’s doomed to be with you.”

Also, where would we be without student reporters.

As Summers Sought Clandestine Relationship With Woman He Called a Mentee, Epstein Was His ‘Wing Man’ | News | The Harvard Crimson
When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he turned to a longtime associate for guidance: convicted sex offender Jef...

It doesn’t take a big leap to see how keeping women in a position of intellectual subordination would help Summers get what he wants.

In their exchange about the “mentee” Summers’ pursued, a tenured macroeconomics prof, Epstein said,

“She’s already begining to sound needy :) nice.”

We know now that children begin to internalize gender roles before they can talk. And messages like Summers’s that women will never be among the top mathematicians and scientists, so it’s not worth trying, absolutely shape girls’ aspirations and performance.

The answer to that could change everything

In order to illustrate his point that men and women’s brains are inherently different, Larry Summers used his own daughter as an example and described how she called two toy trucks Mommy and Daddy trucks. This example was meant to refute the idea that gender differences are socialized.
